The Greater San Diego Muslim Community Center (GSDMCC) is built on a 6-acre site in the community of Santa Luz in San Diego, California, USA.

Building an American Muslim Identity and Community

The goal is to foster an American Muslim identity, deeply rooted in the principles of Islam, while actively participating in and contributing to American society. This entails establishing Islamic institutions that can engage with and support other communities, both locally and globally. Additionally, it involves laying a strong Islamic foundation to be inherited by future generations of American Muslims.

Our mission is to ensure Islam's present and future in America through Muslims known for their positive contributions and exemplary behavior.

MCC: A Tale Unveiled

The Greater San Diego Muslim Community Center (GSDMCC), established as a Nonprofit Religious Organization in 2001, initially operated in Rancho Penasquitos, offering prayer services and weekend Islamic School. As the community grew, large events like Ramadan Iftar were hosted in various school auditoriums and parks due to limited space. In May 2005, the GSDMCC Foundation was formed to acquire land for a permanent center. Relocating to Rancho Bernardo, GSDMCC continued its operations while securing a 6-acre site in Santa Luz for a new center.
